‘Doctor Who’ to Reveal Peter Capaldi’s Next Companion This Saturday

Despite the distinct lack of Doctor Who in 2016 beyond the Christmas Special, we’ve known that Peter Capaldi would take on a new companion to replace Jenna Coleman’s Clara. That new star will land as soon as this weekend, as Doctor Who prepares to announce the next companion entering the TARDIS.

Per the Radio Times, the newest member of Doctor Who will be unveiled during halftime at the Everton vs. Manchester United FA Cup semi-final on BBC-1 (whatever that means). The game itself starts at 5:15 P.M., potentially placing the announcement somewhere around 6:00 - 6:15 P.M.
